Spurs legend Manu Ginobili may be retired, but his name will continue to reverberate around NBA circles for years to come, and not just because he will be a Hall-of-Famer. Along with his eclectic style of play, he popularized a move the league initially saw as a travel: the Eurostep.
ESPN’s Jordan Brenner wrote an excellent piece on the history of the move, where it began, and how it is still evolving. While Ginobili wasn’t the first player to bring the move from Europe to the NBA, he came at the right time, with the right technology and a high enough profile for it to catch on.
